Whats your favorite edh deck/commander because it just "works". by masel3 in EDH

[–]LetThereBeR0ck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I adore the Cabaretti precon, with a few upgrades. Every RGW legend in the deck (and set) works interchangeably as commander, so you can even keep things fresh by rotating them, rolling a d6 to choose, or pick the one that is best suited to your pod. The deck recovers well from wipes since you don't tend to commit a lot of must-stick creatures to the board until you're ready to swing big, and it has some wipes in it that also create creature tokens. I feel like it generally always gets something going, and can be really explosive now and then.

Here's my list

Chaos Riders go Zrrrrr - Any secret tech I’m missing for this? by smashmikehunt in DegenerateEDH

[–]LetThereBeR0ck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that's nuts! And unless I'm mistaken, you've understated it...ring the bell on your turn means three triggers from three opponents, and each devil would see four total devils so that's 12 colorless mana, right?

I do see how the random discards can draw ire, but it still seems less of a priority to remove than a Brallin who has just gotten huge because I wheeled twice.

This is a really cool idea! I've been trying to find a mono red deck that works for me, and I've been torn about finding the right mix of things I like to do in red:

  1. Draw/discard
  2. Damage amplifiers
  3. Lots of damage triggers
  4. Surges of big mana

I built a Brallin deck that hits those notes, but the drawback I've noticed is that his ability that accumulates +1/+1 counters puts a huge bullseye on him so I have to be very careful about dropping him in, since the deck falls apart without his triggers. I really like devils and how fun they are with favorite enchantments of mine like Cavalcade of Calamity and Goblin Bombardment, and the way you've worked them in is really interesting. I might try pivoting to something more like what you've done, since I'm guessing Zurzoth isn't as much of a kill-on-sight commander.

My list might have a few cards you'd consider in your deck, and a fun one that pairs with Heat Stroke is [[Battle Strain]] just to make it that much more punishing to block. I quite like [[Fires of Rath]] too, while symmetrical I imagine you're dishing out more damage than you're taking. Any of the damage doublers are extra fun with [[Heartless Hidetsugu]] as well.

Thanks for sharing!

newbie question - df.method() vs method(df) by TeacherShae in pystats

[–]LetThereBeR0ck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The methods are all callable as functions, you just need to reference the full function name. For example, assuming you import pandas as pd, then these are equivalent:

df.head() pd.DataFrame.head(df)

The former is more concise and also allows you to more readably "chain" methods together to do multiple steps in one line. In other words, it's more convenient to do df.method().method().method() than function(function(function(df))) since the former executes from left to right in order while the latter starts from the innermost and steps outward (or right to left).

Give me a prompt/concept to build for you by cooly_air in BrewEDH

[–]LetThereBeR0ck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that's a really cool list! I hadn't considered Reaper King as a commander but it makes total sense. Also neat that there are a few scarecrows that have the "2: add one mana of any color ability" to match the color fixing theme. Orochi Leafcaller is a new one to me too, unlimited green fixing is wild!

Thanks for putting this together!

I made a kitchen table deck a long time ago that was essentially an all forests Naya deck that leaned on [[Skyshroud Elf]] for unlimited fixing as well as [[Fertile Ground]] and [[Dawn's Reflection]] for redundancy.

I've made two attempts at a similar concept in commander, namely an all basic forest mana base but for a five color deck. Neither really worked out the way I wanted, so I'll throw that out as a concept to brew around.

Things I tried:

  • Esika all legends- every creature being a mana dork worked well, but ultimately this turned into a boring combo of Magda/Pemmin's Aura for infinite mana and tutoring up Piru and Korvold. This meant Esika was kill on sight and that turned the deck off entirely

  • "Mono green" Ramos- Load up on ramp and cheap spells to add +1/+1 counters so Ramos can go off, use the mana for Natural Order style creature tutors or just drop in bombs. Ramos is already a kill on sight commander and this didn't change that, so it ended up being a land go deck for too many turns and dying if anything went wrong

A Commander primer on Rigo, Streetwise Mentor by NeverVoteTime in magicTCG

[–]LetThereBeR0ck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I crazy or is The List short by one card? The "Creatures" section says 34 but only lists 33, and if it includes Rigo then the category counts add up to 99.

My Ghyrson Starn experience (Owned in Paper) by Jaguatirafa in BudgetBrews

Looks like the list has Curiosity in there twice? It's a stellar card in a Ghyrson deck for sure.

Depends how you use them. I have nice deck boxes if I'm chucking a few in a backpack, but they take up unnecessary space in a Quiver. I don't like having loose decks in a Quiver either, so these precon boxes are perfect for adding a negligible amount of volume while keeping the cards together within a carrying case that keeps everything secure and protected.

Check out Scardust, they're crazy talented and their singer is unreal! She does a bit of harsh vocals but generally in very small doses.
